chapter 178
Completely distracted by Rylands relentless pounding. I could vaguely hear the upstairs shower
running, I tried to get up but Ryland growled forcing me back down over the back of the lounge, the
crinkling of plastic loud in the quiet house besides his heavy breathing as he rams into me.
“Well Thaddeus said she was working her ass off, I didn’t think he meant literally” I hear a voice
and we both freeze. I knew that voice and the shame of that voice hit me like a tonne of bricks. I didn’t
know if I wanted to laugh at the predicament I was just caught in or cry.
“Amara do not step through that door with Mara” I hear Imogen say behind us, Ryland quickly
extracts himself from my body and I turn using him as a shield only to see Imogen dart back outside.
Ryland snickering at being caught, has he no shame?
I look around for my clothes quickly, grabbing them and chucking them on, when Amara walks in
and she must have handed my daughter to Imogen who was outside. I could hear Imogen warning her
not to go inside, but clearly curiosity got the better of her.
She takes one look into the living room before her face turns beet red. “My eyes, my eyes” She
screams dramatically shutting them.
“My god please tell me that wasn’t where mum said” She says staring at Ryland’s hard cock before
shielding her eyes again.
“I did warn you” I hear Imogen sing out to her from outside. I quickly dress and Ryland smugly puts
on a pair of pants while I glare at him, how had neither of us heard them pull up was beyond me.
“There decent” I hear Amara call back to her mother before hearing Imogen walk up the steps and
inside. I will never be able to meet her gaze again, she has now seen parts of me I wished she could
unsee. I hear the shower cut off making me look up the stairs.
“Well, that was interesting” Imogen says awkwardly, also unable to meet my gaze as I shifted from
one foot to the other feeling just as awkward.
Typical Amara thought it was hilarious before opening her mouth making my face flame even
hotter.
“Doesn’t that hurt? Like that is an out hole?” She whispers to me. Ryland chuckles while walking
over to her, Amara steps back away from him but he grabs her crushing her against his sweaty chest.
She shrieks trying to get out of his grip shoving him away.
“Get off, you are covered in man juices” She squeals.
“They’re not the only juices” He says, sending me a wink and I glare at him.
“Get off, it’s touching my leg” She says as she shoves him off disgusted.
“I will go put the kettle on, come Mara” Imogen says, grabbing her hand and walking into the
kitchen. Amara follows her mother escaping from Ryland and I duck into the bathroom just as Orion
and Thaddeus walk out with towels low on their hips.
“Your mother is here” I squeal, stripping off and turning the shower on to rid their scents from me.
Orion chuckles. “We heard and felt your embarrassment” He says quickly, shutting the door and
walking off. I wash quickly before grabbing a towel, Ryland stepping in as I am hopping out.
“Where are you going?” He questions looking down at his pants.
“Away from that” I tell him. How could he still be hard even after being caught in the act, now he is
strutting around like some porn star with no shame.
I race out before he tries anything, ducking into our room and digging through the bag on the NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
mattress on the floor. I find some pajamas and slip them on before walking out and down the stairs and
into the gallery style kitchen. Imogen rummaged through boxes looking for cups, while Orion put the
groceries away.
“Did you get any unpacking done?” Imogen questions.
“Obviously not mother she was too busy getting a plumbing examination” Amara says and I shoot
her a look. I hear the crinkle of plastic in the lounge room and look around for Mara. A screech leaves
my lips as I race to the lounge room in panic not wanting her to sit on that couch. Racing out Thaddeus
had the plastics removed and in his arms.
“Already onto it” He says and I nod relieved that her eyes weren't scarred or her senses. Mara was
sitting in front of the fireplace staring at it with a juicebox in her hand, slurping on it happily.
“Daddy make fire” She says looking over her shoulder at him and smiling brightly.
“In a second baby” He tells her walking outside with the rolled up plastic from the lounges.
“Are you hungry?” I ask her, bending down and kissing her curly locks. She shakes her head when
Orion walks out with a happy meal placing it beside her.
“mum got her mcdonalds” He says and I nod. We both turn to walk out when I hear her giggling
and clapping looking back at her, she was playing with her book that came from her happy meal.
“Any news on Bianca?” I ask Amara walking back into the kitchen and dining room. Amara shakes
her head.
“She's probably stuck in her head somewhere” Orion says and Amara nods.
“Maybe but usually when she does that she is at home or somewhere familiar but I get nothing
from her, nothing at all” Amara says worriedly. Thaddeus walks in before stopping at the doorway
looking into the living room. He looks at us before looking back into the living room.
“What is it?” I ask him, feeling some unknown emotion from him.
“Did you start the fire?” He asks, confusing me.
“What fire?” Orion asks, walking toward him and stopping his mouth hanging open. We all get up
and look in the living room. Mara looked up at us.
“Look Fire” She giggles excitedly munching on a french fry.
“Did you start it?” I whisper to Thaddeus.
“I wouldn’t have asked any of you if I did” He mutters. We all stare at Mara and Imogen speaks
behind us.
“You might want to buy some fire extinguishers,” She says, making us turn to look at her.
“Well if none of you started it, then it obvious she did” Imogen says, her eyes sparkling at her
granddaughter.
“But she is a baby” I tell her and she shrugs.
“She is also a tribrid,” Imogen says, patting my shoulder gently.
Amara walks back into the kitchen grabbing her mug before sitting out in the living room watching
her niece. I do the same sitting next to her watching my daughter in awe. She used magic and I didn’t
know whether it scared me or excited me.
“How was work?” I ask Imogen as she comes out sitting on the armchair next to Mara.
“Laura did good, but I tell you what Mara really doesn't like her for some reason, she kept staring
and watching her”
“Really?” I ask remembering when Laura first came in and Mara’s reaction to her.
“I wonder why?” I ask myself more than anyone.
“Don’t know, but she usually likes everyone. I have never seen her act like that”
“What do you mean?” I ask now worried and I see Thaddeus and Ryland looking at her too now,
paying attention. Orion sits next to Mara on the floor brushing her curls from her face as she eats, her
little teeth chomping her chicken nugget.
“Mara, I don’t know. I can’t explain it but Laura was also nervous around her. Laura tried to give
her a cookie and Mara slapped her hand”
“She hit her,” Imogen nods.
“Did you meet Laura?” I ask Amara, wondering if she sensed anything with the girl. Amara shakes
her head. “No, I met mum here, my car is out the front” She says and I nod thinking it was strange.
“Well come on, I will help you unpack while we are here” Imogen says getting up with her now
empty coffee cup. Thaddeus and Ryland also got up.
“I will go upstairs and start putting the beds together.” Ryland says.
“Can you shower Mara and get her in her pajamas while I help mum?” I ask Orion and he nods.
“Of course,” He says, scooping her up under her arms.
